(A) No parking, stopped or standing zones. The City Council may, by resolution, designate certain streets or portions of streets as no parking or no stopping or standing zones and may limit the hours in which the restrictions apply. The City Council shall require each zone so designated to be marked by appropriate signs. Except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a police or a traffic control device, no person shall stop or park a vehicle in an established no stopping or standing zone when stopping or standing is prohibited. No vehicle shall be parked in a no-parking zone during hours when parking is prohibited, except that a vehicle may be parked temporarily in such zone for the purpose of forming a funeral procession and a truck may be parked temporarily between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. of any business day for the purpose of loading or unloading where access to the premises is not otherwise available.
(B) Time limit parking zones. The City Council may, by resolution, designate certain areas where the right to park is limited during hours specified. The City Council shall require each zone so designated to be marked by appropriate signs. During the hours specified on the sign, no person shall park a vehicle in any limited parking zone for a longer period than is so specified.
(C) General time limit. No vehicle shall be parked for more than 30 minutes between 2:00 and 6:00 a.m., and no vehicle shall in any case be parked upon any street in any one place for a longer continuous period than 48 hours.
(D) Impoundment. Any police officer may remove a vehicle from a street to a garage or other place of safety when the vehicle is left unattended and constitutes an obstruction to traffic or hinders snow removal or street improvements or maintenance operations. Such vehicle shall not be released until the fees for violation of this chapter.
(E) Prima facie violation. The presence of any motor vehicle on any street when standing or parking in violation of this chapter is prima facie evidence that the registered owner of the vehicle committed or authorized the commission of the violation.
